WIN98 SE fails to display "shut down" sc

After installing WIN98 over older version of 95, the shutdown session completes all steps except the last display ("OK to shut down").The screen "Windows is shutting down" remains displayed. I can power off clean and scan disk doesn't run when I power up and load windows. Is this "problem" worth diagnosing?Thanks
